Spencer Dinwiddie receives Player of the Week consideration for third time

The NBA continues to recognize Spencer Dinwiddie as one of its top performers. He was up for Eastern Conference Player of the Week again.

In the middle of November, Spencer Dinwiddie was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week for Week 5 of the 2019-20 season. It was the first time he earned the award.

A week later, Dinwiddie was recognized again by the NBA, but this time he was among the nominees. He lost out to Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Dinwiddie was then among those up for consideration for Eastern Conference Player of the Month for the games played in October and November. Once again, Antetokounmpo won the honor.

But it doesn’t end there. Dinwiddie continues to garner Player of the Week consideration. On Monday, the NBA announced Dinwiddie was an Eastern Conference Player of the Week nominee for Week 7. This time, the winner was Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler.

Since November 18 — the first day of the week Dinwiddie was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week — the Nets point guard has averaged 23.8 points, 7.9 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game. Brooklyn is also 8-3 during the span.
